Already posted a ticket today but very grateful for any additional clues.

Have purchased X10 and downloaded 32bit setup file, but cannot complete the install. The program tries to auto-launch towards end of installation and fails every time with message "Error code: -46". Screen shot attached.

(There is no problem with the destination folder and plenty of space on the disk).

After install completes, the same error throws every time I try to launch the program. Several uninstalls / re-installs - fails every time.

I rather stupidly purchased the upgrade before downloading the trial <G> but have always upgraded Xara with each new version and have not come across this kind of problem before.

The machine is 32 bit XP SP2. Could this be the problem do you think?

Any advice appreciated..
